Center Josef Vasicek collected Nashville's lone score against San Jose on Saturday, continuing his recent surge.
In his first 12 games with the Predators he had just one point (a goal). In the last six he has five points (one goal, four assists).
Trotz said Vasicek is improving because he's in the lineup more regularly. Beginning in October he missed eight games with a hip flexor. In November he missed another two with back spasms.
"He is finally getting some momentum," Trotz said. "Trusting himself, really, believing in himself again."
